Family Spotlight: Rachel and Adam Schupack & Family
Rachel and Adam are event hosts at this year's JRA Annual Event to End Hunger. Rachel and Adam first volunteered at JRA back in 2014. They introduced their two young children to the mitzvah of JRA before they could even walk! Nowadays, the family volunteers by packing food during our JRA Juniors program, whizzing down the assembly lines, and delivering boxes to families in need. The Schupacks are committed to instilling Jewish values in their children, teaching kindness, active citizenship, and generosity. __________________________________________________
